Luxury brands often face criticism for their exorbitant prices, whether it's a Hermès Birkin bag, a Louis Vuitton microscopic bag, or even a Balenciaga tape bracelet. But what if your everyday slippers were sold at a steep price, leaving you puzzled? This is precisely what happened at a store in Saudi Arabia, where a pair of "trendy" slippers was sold for 4,500 riyals. The price, however, wasn't what shocked the internet. As these blue and white sandals are commonly used as bathroom slippers at home in India, the sale sparked a wave of amusement and bewilderment among netizens. The video, shared on Instagram by @kuwaitinside, features a pair of blue and white open-toe slippers being dramatically unveiled from a glass box, just like any other luxury branded item. The salesperson even gave a serious demo of their sturdiness. The caption read, “Trendy sandals sell for 4,500 riyals ($1,200) in Saudi Arabia!” Social media erupted in laughter, with netizens firing off hilarious comments and sparking various other discussions.
